James Keelaghan - Refugee


CAPO: 5th Fret

INTRO: C majorC   FF   C majorC   FF

       C majorC
I will write you one last time

You will be here in the morning

I imagine that you're sleeping
       FF              G+G
On the North Atlantic swell
          C majorC
There's a wind in off the sea

Enough to keep me waking
 FF
Enough to make me think
        G+G
We will say no more farewells


        C majorC
All the words that pass between us

A augmentedA line of pale blue letters

Stretching from the Sambro lighthouse
       FF                  G+G
To the waves around Lands End
           C majorC
Now you're following that line

Enveloped by the darkness
       FF
You'll find me waiting
G+G                  C majorC
When you reach its end

• Add to my songbook
• Rate:
  • Poor
  • No good
  • OK
  • Accurate
  • Excellent

CHORUS:
        G+G
All the ones who ran from war
        FF               C majorC
All the wealthy and the wounded
          G+G
That have landed on this shore
           FF                G+G
They don't mean a thing to me
         C majorC
All that matters is the one

Who will be with me tomorrow
              G+G                        C majorC      FF    C majorC    FF
It's a lonely heart that loves the refugee


       C majorC
You've left behind your home

I have left behind my family

We have come here to this shore
         FF                   G+G
With the strength to start anew
          C majorC
There's a world here for the taking

A augmentedA safe and steady harbour
          FF
There's a million things to think of
      G+G
But tonight I'll think of you


           C majorC
Well, it's immigrants we are

This land has known no other

There's a million came before us
          FF                G+G
A augmentedA million more will follow on
   C majorC
An endless wave is washing

On this rocky coastline
        FF
Carving features in the landscape
        G+G              C majorC
Fanning out and moving on


CHORUS:
        G+G
All the ones who ran from war
        FF               C majorC
All the wealthy and the wounded
          G+G
That have landed on this shore
           FF                G+G
They don't mean a thing to me
         C majorC
All that matters is the one

Who will be with me tomorrow
              G+G                        C majorC      FF    C majorC    FF
It's a lonely heart that loves the refugee


         C majorC
Tomorrow morning you'll look out

You will see this lovely coastline

From Mitchell Bay to Prospect
        FF                G+G
It will seem like open arms
          C majorC
And those arms will enfold you

Sweep you safe into the harbour
  FF                              G+G
Deliver you from loneliness and harm


         C majorC
Tomorrow morning I will climb

Upon the hill above the harbour

I will look out to the East
             FF                 G+G
To where the heaven meets the sea
         C majorC
When the ship has come in sight

I will run down to the dockside
    FF                 G+G             C majorC
And welcome here just one more refugee


CHORUS:
        G+G
All the ones who ran from war
        FF               C majorC
All the wealthy and the wounded
          G+G
That have landed on this shore
           FF                G+G
They don't mean a thing to me
         C majorC
All that matters is the one

Who will be with me tomorrow
              G+G                        C majorC
It's a lonely heart that loves the refugee
              G+G                        C majorC      FF    C majorC    FF   C majorC
